RUTHERFORD ALIVE.

, From a gentleman from the county
of Rutherford we learn that jtbe
Radicals have held a meeting and
nominated for the Convention Jim
t...,.: . 1 ? 1
and a $20 lawyer, over the head of
- -Nathan Scoggin, the-ex-deputy U. S.
.Marshal. Scoggin will, we presume,
run independently and thereby carry
half of the white Radical vote, while
Justice will carry the entire negro
vote. Jim Justice is well known as
a man who has endeavored to stir np
rtrife between the races at" every elec
tion Hnce the -war always secretly
Scheming to arouse the prejudice of
the black man against the white.
A Northern settler in Raleigh

JIM. HARRIS NOT AFRAID.
The Observer Kays in its report of

Further on in' his speech Harris
spiked the gun of many, of his party

negroes and poor white men, by say
ing that he was not afraid of any
change which might be made, in the
Constitution. " foresaid he. " they
know that they can't make a clause
which wiil create a distinction on ac

something from the leader of ihe

WILMINGTON,
IN TUB JAWS OP DEATH.
-: -"" : ; -. y. .
A Fearful Diuger aad Wondermi
Escape Great Peril otat ttlver
Steamer and Her 'Paaaensera and
" A."mo8t wonderful andlmbst miraculous
escape occurred . at the wharf of the old
Wilmington and Weldou Railroad oa Monday.-
It appears that Mr. R. O. Ross had a
number of workmen engaged in extending
the wbar( to deep water, . the, water at that
point being very! shallow. wWith this view
he bad driven a number of pilings in a line
from the wharf, cutting them off at low
watermark, to which be had attached
''stringers," consisting of limbers placed on
top of the piliugs and then secured. At the
time we allude to in the outset the tide was
rising and the timbers were about even
with the water, while the wind was blowing
quite briskly up the river, when Mr. Ross,
who was superintending the work, sudden-'
ly discovered the little steamer Fire-Fly
passing the whan . or Messrs. YicK cc
Mebane, which extonds considerably be
yond that of the railroad wharf; being im
mediately below it and making directly for
the obstructions, with full head of steam on
and wind and tide with, her. Mr. Ross,
who was almost overwhelmed with con
sternation and alarm, waved and shouted to
the officers of the approaching boat, but to
no purpose. The knowledge of the awful
danger so near at hand had come too late to
the captain and engineer for them to alter
their course, and the boat sped with fearful
rapidits to her apparantly certain doom.
Upon her decks were a number of men.
women and children, who were passengers
from Smithville to this city, and as the little,
steamer neared the obstructions the cheeks
of all including the officer of the boat and!
Mr. Ross, were literally blanched with
terror. And now comes the shock, while
f very one's breath is suspended and the
heart stands still as crew and passengers
seem to realize the fearful doom from which
they can perceive no shadow of a chance of
escape. But, lo ! and behold, the bow of
the little craft mount thi nbttruction, the
fearful speed at which she was being driven
impels her forward with irresistible force,
and she finally, to the astonishment of
all, "glides safely out shaken nd
scarred, into the waters beyond the danger
which had so imminently threatened her
and her precious freight. A man with a
child in his arms is thrown by the concus
sion into the now seething waters, but he
recovers himself and the child is passed
safely iuto the arms of some one on the
boat In the meanwhile, Mr. Ross had
shouted to his men to man the boat which
is kept at hand and tbe'juan who was cast
into the waters is rescued.' And now the
time for congratulation has come, and all
realize the fact -that tbey are at last safe
that they have by an almost miraculous in
terposition of Divine, Providence been
snatched from the very jaws of death.
The boat, we learn, was not much in
jured, and Mr. Ross now displays flags to
denote the danger; though no other boat
but the Fire-Fly, we understand, could
navigate in sueh shallow water, which ac
counts for the fact that no warning had been,
previously arranged.
OTayor's Court.
The following cases were disposed of by
this tribunal yesterday morning: ;
, Sam Johnson, charged with stealing a
shoulder of bacon, the property of Dennis
Mcllbenny, was" ordered to give bond In.
the sum of $100 for his appearance at the
next term of the Superior Court to answer
to the charge of larceny.
Alice Hall and Mary Nixon, charged with
disorderly conduct near the corner of Fourth
and Orange streets', on Sunday night, were
found guilty, but judgment was suspended
on the payment of costs, on application of.
Alderman Holmes. y
Geo. Aldrich, charged with "crooking
his elbow" too frequently, thus producing
an articial "flow of spirits" which caused
him to give vent to his exuberance in rath
er a boisterous manner on the public streets,
was found guilty, but judgment was sus
pended on the payment of costs. .
lajared r a Fall A Broken Cars
? We are informed that the curb stone at
or near the corner of Fifth and Lock streets
is broken, leaving an opening of "about two'
feet, which is dangerous to pedestrians. As
an instance, a colored man by the name of

by which hi ankle was badly sprained; so

Wilmington, N. C, Aug. 2, 1875. ? .
To the Bon. Chairman and Board of County
Commissioner! of New Banover Co.: ' "y:
Gentlemen We have the . honor to"
make the following report, "viz : '
During the last month reports having
circulated in the community, and said re
ports having reached us, .that the prisoners
at the Work House were most barbarously
and inhumanly treated, we repaired imme
diately t he Work House and found; on
examination, that the contractors had re;
ceived from, thj State penitentiary' thirty
con vie t, seven of which bad escaped and
one had been killed in attempting to es
cape. . Wo also examined all the prisoners
present. - We fftund oh close examination
.that the prisoners had been and were well fed
oa good and substantial food, and that tbey
were well worked; the prison clean, - but
the punishment was yery severe and inhu
mtii in fact too much so to be allowed in
a civilized community. Your" committee
being so much impressed with the treat
ment tbey employed Dr. J, F. King, a lead
ing physician of this city, to examine the
condition of the convicts now in the Work'
House, whose report was presented at the
last meeting. We also obtained the names
of the persons who . circulated the original
reports and summoned them before us. The
following named . persons appeared and
made the annexed statements nnder. oath.
The others failed to appear, and we have
been unable to get up with them thus far.
The following are the statements, viz:
- Tm. Daniels I have at different times
heard the prisoners moaning and groaning
as if in the greatest agony. I am farming
just across the creek, the creek being about
fifty or seventy-five yards wide. I have not
seen the prisoners, but only hear them as
if in great distress.) It is a general talk
about the neighborhood that the prisoners
are unmercifully treated when punished. ;
Mack Daniels I am farming just across
the creek from the Work House and just
above Wm. Daniels'. I have heard nearly
every day, Sundays included, the prisoners
moaning and groaning as if in the greatest
distress. ; The creek is about fity or seventy
yards wide. The general report - of the
people in tbc neighborhood is that the pris
oners are unmercifully treated.
Cato Daniels I am farming on the Mills
tract, just across the creek from the Work
House, the creek being about fifty or seven
five yards. - I have heard the prisoners at
the Work House at different times moan
ing and groaning as if in the greatest agony.
It is a general report around the neighbor
hood that the prisoners at the Work House
are being murdered by inches.
Henry Daniels I farm on the Mills tract,
just across the creek from the Work House
on the same land as William and Mack
Daniels. I have heard the prisoners at dif
ferent times -moaning' and groaning as if
suffering. -1 have not seen anything myself;
only heard it. ' : .
.After bearings the foregoing testimony,
we have concluded 'that the punishment
was too. severe, and as some discipline is
necessary,' we have decided to leave it to
the Board, and if. the contractors depart
from the punishment ' laid down ' by - the
Board that their contract be annulled and
they be discharged. ; . , . i j

AUGUST 4, 1875.!
; The Excursion-Yesterday. .
i- if-
j Yesterday, the day appointed for the ex
cursion of the Cape Fear Light Artillery,
dawned as beautiful and bright as ceuld be
expected.: At an early hour the membos
of the two white militar i companies and
the Concert Corhet Club- arrayed in their
handsome uniforms, might be seen in differ
ent directions, moving toSyrds the Armory
bu Sec6nd,Btreet,"f rom which point the pro
cession to the boat- was to start. At the ap
pointed time, .' the ' Wilmington H Light J In:;
fan try,' under command of Capti P.-Taylor,
headed by the Concert Cornet Ciub,marched
out upon the .street, where ffie Cape , Fear
Light Ajtillery, under command of rCapt.
H. G.: Flanner, 'fell in td line and the pro-
cession movea up to .vnesBut. sixeei, . uowii
Chesnut to Front, down Front to Market
and down Market to the wharf, where the
Light Artiirery 'marched 4 on board of 1 the
"Steamer y?aecamdwy and the Light In
fantry and the' Cornet Concert Club dis
banded." just here we must take occasion
to remark that the members; of the . Cape'
Fear Light Artillery: appeared for the . first
time in their, new uniforms, which. , are of
a handsome .and attractive i : style. ' .The
excursion was the event of the day. A large
crowd of ladies , and gentlemen and many
children thronged the spacious decks,' and
the whistle for departure ! was the signal
for the beginning of . the round of gayeiy
and pleasure that was kept up during the
entire occasion: Music sweet and enchant
ing lent its charms to the scene, ' and this;
together with the happy faces, gay uniforms
and general joyousness that pervaded eve
rything, rendered the aspect one decidedly
inviting. ' '7t ' 1 . j
The 'run to ; Smithville was made in good
time, while the dancers merrily "tripped
the light fantastic toe,'' and the iiappy
laughter of the joyous throng , mingled with'
the murmur of the . waves. On arriving at
Smithville, the greater number of the ex
cursionists wended their way to the : nume
rous shaded spots that lie within the - limits
of quiet liitle Smithville, while masy. others
remained in the JIaccamnwtLDd braved the
fury of the tempestuous waves as the steam
er put out to sea. Dancing was commenced,
at the academy ' immediately after dinner
and kept Up without intermission until 4
o'clock, at which hour the Waceamaia
returned from her voyage to Smithville and
the Blackfish Grounds. The. party, again
embarked, after having spent a fewpleasant
hours at Smithville, interspersed, however,'
with a heavy shower of rain, which had
the effect of cooling the atmosphere: and
suddenly dispersing: .many of the happy
groups which until then had defied the rays
of the run from beneath the, overhanging
shade of many a venerable tree. The ' ex
cursion steamer started from the wharf late
in the afternoon while' an incessant rain
was pouring down, which however bad ho
effect upon the general spirit of .joyousness
that prevailed. The large throng, 'afteri a
very pleasant and enjoyable, day arrived ;at.
the city at 1 o'clock. ; , ' S ''
